I traded in my SpeedMaster 1200 for a new SpeedTwin 1200

[@Saur2311]

Thanks for this video. I want to order the same color. Just waiting for a test drive and then trade in my Honda Rebel 1100.

I traded my T120 for a new Speed Twin, and yes, it rained! You need to be very careful in the wet, because the tyres fitted at the factory, whilst great in the dry, are not too great in the rain. Also, fit a rad guard and a fender extender to make up for the criminally short item that comes with the bike. Buy a Go Cruise throttle lock and you are ready to go! They are a bloody good bike. Enjoy!

[@ben.aka.bigben]

Rain and speed twin is a thing I guess. Yea in fact I was searching for a throttle lock and saw a few. I'll get one since I'll be riding long hours

[@peterwilliamson4296]

Yes a cruise control or throttle lock is something that once you try you cant go back no matter how good the bike is.

[@shingerz]

Totally agree 👍

[@shingerz]

Bloody lovely colour im taking my new speed twin out friday if it doesn't rain and you were so right about the new tyres in the wet also ive heard the metzeler arent the best in wet weathers either il soon be getting some Bridgestone on 👍

[@ben.aka.bigben]

Congrats, I'll change then asap. I had a few skid during rain on low speed even

[@mstelios4259]

Lovely bike. Congrats.

[@ben.aka.bigben]

Cheers, thanks

[@garybrown4854]

It always rains on new bike day , love the speed twin .

[@ben.aka.bigben]

Cheers, thanks 🙌

[@BrotherKplays]

Congrats on the beautiful bike. I just wish cruise control was available, even as an option.

[@ben.aka.bigben]

Thank you, unfortunately that's being missed badly on long rides. Specially that the bike hast a slightly sporty position to it

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

A LITTLE SHORTER; MORE MANEUVERABLE IN THE CITY TRAFFIC. FOR PASSENGER RIDING; I'D GO WITH THE T120 IN LOCAL CONGESTED AREAS. .

Don’t know that I would have traded a Speedmaster for a Speed Twin. Both are amazing but I think the Speedmaster is way more comfortable.

[@ben.aka.bigben]

In terms of comfort you are right. I traded comfort for excitement and I didn't regret it.

[@883frederick]

Your new bike is a thing of beauty for sure! The green tank is subtly understated and classy. I have ridden the ST and it has all the power a normal human being could want with superb handling. Keep us updated on how you get on.

[@ben.aka.bigben]

Thanks Fredrick, all 3 new colours were available including the older orange. This was classier as you said. Will do, cheers!

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

LOVELY BUT LIKE SOME PROTECTION WITH PANNIER BARS TO PROTECT MY SEAT. FROM LOCALS AND TIP OVER. GOOD TO HAVE A REAR RACK JUST IN CASE A BAG. BEER SHOPPING. - ANYONE ???

[@flamintasty]

Turn caps off ffs 🙄

[@garystratton8731]

I am considering 3 bikes The Speedmaster The T120 & The Speed Twin Can i ask how it compares to the speedmaster and which you prefer please.

[@ben.aka.bigben]

In short, It totally depends on your age. If your are above 45 you'll enjoy SpeedMaster better. Under 45 go for speed twin ;) hopefully you got what I mean. For youngsters speed twin is more thrilling. Everytime I was on speedmaster I felt I'm 10 years older. The only thing I missed about it was the cruise control.

[@garystratton8731]

@@ben.aka.bigben I am almost 50 !! Is there a big difference in power

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

What made you go for the Speed Twin?

[@ben.aka.bigben]

Many reasons tbh, I always had an eye on it. Even the day I bought SpeedMaster I was really indecisive. I love the look of it and I wanted a fun twin cylinder bike. Speedmaster is amazing but made me feel a little older if you get what I mean.

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

@@ben.aka.bigben ok I see.. i have always viewed the Speed Twin as something of a compromise between a naked bike and modern retro... a little like the Z900RS... not full retro, not full naked... somewhere in-between... I'm sure it's an absolute performer but it seems counter to the laid-back feel of the Speedmaster, which is why I asked.

[@ben.aka.bigben]

@@thepodbaydoorshal that's exactly where they wanted this bike to be, a modern classic or neo-retro as some say. overall no regret at all.

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

@@ben.aka.bigben Awesome... You can't really go wrong with any of the bonnevilles...

[@ben.aka.bigben]

Thank you sir!

[@dhc8guru]

Not like you can be disappointed trading a Triumph for a Triumph but I think the Speedmaster is the better all round bike.

[@ben.aka.bigben]

I would say that's very subjective. The Speedmaster was giving me a good level of comfort and the cruise control was a trophy. But I wont regret it since SpeedTwin has features and characteristics I really enjoy. For me it makes me feel young. I'm not sure how to explain it but SpeedMaster is something I would enjoy more when I'm above 45. I wanted a fun twin engine and I was thinking about a KTM 890 while keeping the Speedmaster. The idea of getting a speed twin sparkled suddenly to have both package of classic and a fun twin in one and pay lesser insurance and other fees.
